A compact camera without compromise

Packing outstanding features and performance in a sleek, pocket-sized body, the Sony RX100 Mark V is a compact camera for those who don’t wish to compromise. The camera’s fantastic portability makes it small enough to take anywhere, and its sharp 24-70mm ZEISS lens is versatile enough to photograph stunning landscapes, architecture, street scenes, and portraits. A bright f/1.8-2.8 maximum aperture allows for faster shutter speeds and shallow depth of field with dreamy background bokeh.

Outstanding image quality and processing speed

The Sony RX100 V excels in both image quality and shooting speed thanks to an impressive 20.1MP 1.0-inch stacked CMOS sensor and enhanced BIONZ X engine. Back illumination technology boosts the sensor’s light-gathering performance to render images with remarkable detail and less noise across its ISO 80-12,800 range.

4K video and super slow-mo

Recording 4K video with full sensor readout, and none of the pixel binning common in other cameras, the RX100 Mark V renders footage with captivatingly crisp, clear detail. Manipulate time and action with a range of frame rates (including 960 fps for epic, super-slow-motion clips) and express your creative intent using S-Log2 and other advanced post-production features.

180° tilting LCD monitor

The Sony RX100 V’s 3.0-inch, 1.23-million dot rear monitor doesn’t just make it easy to compose, live view and play back your photos and videos. By tilting 180° upwards or 45° downwards, it also expands your creative possibilities. It’s ideal for capturing selfies and otherwise impossible low-angle or overhead shots.
